将文本文件从已知（1252）编码转换为UTF8文件

Question

I have a file which has text with windows-1252 encoding. How to convert it into UTF8 file format?

Answer 1

The Encoding class supports conversions.

byte[] asciiBytes = File.ReadAllBytes("C:\\ascii.txt");

Encoding ASCII_1252 = Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1252");

byte[] utf8Bytes = Encoding.Convert(ASCII_1252, Encoding.UTF8, asciiBytes);

File.WriteAllBytes("C:\\utf8.txt", utf8Bytes);

Note that GetEncoding() relies on the underlying platform to support most code pages as explained here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t9a3kf7c(v=vs.100).aspx
